Figure 2 Hypoxia-inducible factors regulate hepatic lipid metabolism. HIF-2 promotes lipid accumulation mainly by preventing mitochondrial β-oxidation and promoting lipid droplet formation. In contrast, HIF-1 suppresses lipid accumulation by inhibiting de novo lipogenesis. HIF-1 also promotes lipid storage and lipid export. HIF: Hypoxia-inducible factor; FA: Fatty acids; TG: Triglycerides.
